Bin Laden’s Son Vows Revenge for Father’s Assassination

The son of Al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden threatened to continue his father’s war against the United States in a 21-minute speech released online, according to the extremism monitoring group SITE.

“We will continue striking you and targeting you in your country and abroad in response to your oppression of the people of Palestine, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia and the rest of the Muslim lands that did not survive your oppression” Hamza bin Laden said in the speech.

“As for the revenge by the Islamic nation for Sheikh Osama, may Allah have mercy on him, it is not revenge for Osama the person but it is revenge for those who defended Islam,” he countered.
